It Was Your Heart I Wanted

In this hard stone granit loss moment

I hold close the words of my never 

To be gone language until I am 

Singing it was your heart I wanted

In the face of love fear driven knees

Buckle from history’s wounds standing

On Ode to Joy’s unflinching throne  

Singing it was your heart I wanted 

Casting a glance over my shoulder

I hold close the dream all gone

Grateful it whispered soft to me

It was your heart I wanted

This day now moves past sunset gold 

Words gently grace this page dancing 

Humility it is more than just you

It was your heart I wanted

When The Words Are Gone

Hard drawn moments look
To shut me down
When the words are gone
Where is my father

I am loosely tethered
To the life I’m in
When the words are gone
Where is my mother

Time with being

Is it all right

if I just am

for a moment?

(A humble request

by any measure.)

What is my life

if my time being

is left unspent?

And the tears roar

And the tears roar punches down

Wetlands drenching twists

A muscled foe

Into spirit

Form

Word Spun Fire

This may be not hard this word display

frankly you could say your word spun fire

into oblivion’s vanishing blast.

I owe no lines across borders

none there are but nature’s law’s

wounding humanity.
